Wise words on wealth and government

justus, was Zorro a relative of yours?

Once again Justus and his racist views add credence to the adage, "Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt".

By the way Justus by "31" slavery had ended 66 years prior.

C'mon AC, you can do better than this, oh, never mind...

jboy: Are you a puppet? You keep getting your strings pulled by Justus...

Mr.Rodgers, Most people who are not working, have lost their jobs.The only thing government is giving , is what they took, when the people were working paying taxes. What is the matter with them returning, some of what was payed in taxes, when the people were working? How did the rich get so rich, by taking every loophole they could find, good for them. One thing, they can not take a dime with them when they die., so why not help those who are down on their luck.?

Yet another LTE pulled right from all the right wing e-mails that are making the rounds. "I believe slavery is a much maligned institution; if we had slavery today, we would not have this welfare mess." quote by Dr Adrian Rogers.He's the guy who shifted the Southern Baptists to the far right. Remember the Disney boycott? That was him. Acording to him capital punishment is "spiritually ordained" Said it wasa pastor's duty to influence the political decisions of his congregation (yes his

It's the right of many to take from the productive. It's called being a Dem. If you want something someone else had, just take it and say it's your right. This LTE is just another attempt to stop all people from being totally equal in all things, as designated by a fine socialist government. J.F., you obviously don't know your place. You'll soon be shown.

A man should not be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character -- MLK. Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather what you can do for your country -- JFK. Both of these men promoted personal responsibility. Their memory is spit on every day by this administration and its supporters.

And a rich man has a beter chance of passing a camel through a needle eye than he has of going to heave. Whats your point J.F. would you rather see children starve or go hungry? You must be one of those COMPASSIONATE CONServatives.

The way I see it, justus, you want the rich to be slaves to the poor.

i enjoyed listening to rogers over the years,he was a pretty good minister,but so was g vernon mcgee.i also listen to eddie long, creflo, and even j osteen sometimes.i think the ministers need to hush about poor people considering so many are living in mansions,and driving rolls-royces and bentleys,while their members ride a bus to church.i concur with mimsy,we have plenty, why not share it with our other citizens, we have no problems sending free aid checks to other countries whose citizens didn't work for it either.we all know we have a segment of society which is just sorry,but what do we do?throw them in the streets? i'll leave that to others.

I find it very ironic that a pastor would make such a quote in the first place. These guys do very little work and rake in big bucks from duped people who want to leave the earth and go someplace they perceive to be better. If half of these evangelists really and truly acted like Jesus, then there would be no poor people at all.

When you get behind a 400 pound woman in the grocery store checkout, dressed to the nines, with gold jewelry and diamonds hanging on her, a buggy full of steaks and potato chips, and dragging two or three skinny little ones behind her, and paying with an EBT card, it makes me wonder just who is it that is neglecting the children.

All you posters that are criticizing the church for not helping the poor more, let me ask you a question? How many of you are giving 10% to Christ. Not all pastors are raking in the big bucks or driving rolls-royes. Yes, there are a few "television" ministers who are doing well but the majority of your home town churches are struggling to stay open just like everyone else, and these local pastors are having trouble making ends meet with their own familiy. Niko Mahs, if you think pastors do very little work, maybe you should walk in their shoes for a week as see just how much these Godly men do for our community.

Cracker Jack, you sound more like a Cracker. And In Christ Love, I see what they do and frankly I am not very impressed.

Niko, Thank God these Godly men are not here to impress you but to save your soul from hell.

Jesus said the poor would be with us always. Jesus became poor that we could become rich. God is a God of abundance. He said seek first the kingdom of heaven and all these other things will be added. Rogers was a great preacher in all regards. Lies never upset folks; just the truth.

With all of the so-called Godly people going to Heaven, Hell may not be such a bad place after all. And I hear that Satan guy really knows how to Party!

peace4784, when I place my tithes and offerings in the offering plate on Sunday, I'm giving that money to my Lord. If I was giving it to the government, I'd send them a check in the mail. Our church financel committee are responsible for paying the bills, supporting ministries, and taking care of the upkeep of the church...and our Pastor is a Godly man who preaches the truth (evidently you have another concept of what truth is) and has no dealings with the church finances so how can he be fraudulent. Not that it is any of your business but I do read my Bible faithfully and follow what God teaches and do not consider it "BS". Seems like you've been lead in the wrong direction and have a very poor outlook on Christianity altogether. That's sad.

Niko, you can joke all you want and think it's funny but Hell is no laughing matter. There are a number who call themselves Christian but who are not true believers, so Hell may indead be more crowded than you think. Read Revelations and see if Hell is not such a bad place after all, and Satan really knows how to party. Wait until he destroys you and walks away, see how long the party last.

There is a mention made of Pastor Creflo Dollar and Joel Osteen in a posting by elliotness. Creflo Dollar's ministry took in $69 million tax free dollars last year, and by the way, his congregation donated the Rolls Royce,(according to him). You have to pay in advance to see Joel Osteen. If you ever watch his television programs, they always have a promo for his upcoming appearances, and, oh yes, tickets are available in advance. These television preachers have learned that one thing works: MASS MARKETING. They all want you to write to them with your prayer request, and while you are sealing the envelope, don't forget your donation check. Some even take credit cards. Write them and tell them you have been out of work and see how much money they send you! But I think the gist of the letter to the editor has been blown a little out of context, though. It all boils down to this: If you give a man a fish, he will only eat that fish, but if you teach a man to fish, he will eat fish for a lifetime.

New out.... The Obama Deception....

Yonce, name ONE minister that drives a Rolls Royce or Bentley that YOU personally have seen and know about. I have attended some of the laresrt churches in the area and have yet to see one. Preachers are some of the poorest paid people I know. If we are going to bring Jesus into this issue, let's remember that He said "the poor will always be with you".

In my opinion, saying Pastor along with Joel Osteen in the same sentence is ridiculous. When a so called man of God doesn't preach the important facts of the Bible and only speaks what people want to hear to make them feel good, then that man is not preaching God's whole truth. Maninthemirror, you got that right, some of these television preachers are MASS MARKETING, not being fisher's of men.
